Welcome to RyanBuildsWheels: Bespoke Handbuilt Wheels and Custom Cut Spokes


You are purchasing a pack of 2 13g/2.3mm Sapim Leader Spokes in Silver, great for E-Bikes, Bromptons, and all manner of internally geared hubs (NOT for use on Rohloff's). 
BAT Reduction Nipples will allow you to use these in rims drilled for standard spokes. For more information read on.

**State the length of spokes you require in the 'Message to Buyer' field during the checkout process. Mixed length order are welcome**

I've just released a new Wheelbuilding Oil! Correct Lubrication of Nipples and Threads is a vital part of any quality handbuilt wheel. Pick Some Up for your next build!

The full range of Sapim Spokes and Nipples for the rest of your build can be found via my shopfront.

All spokes are custom cut in house on our factory grade shear and die equipped Spoke Cutting and Threading Machine. I currently offer these spokes in sizes from 50-310mm cut to any length you require to the nearest mm.  Threads are rolled, not cut, meaning no stress risers are formed, using exactly the same process as high end factory produced spokes whilst allowing us to check thread quality more regularly.  Extra short spokes are HERE..

Quality Stainless Steel Plain Gauge spokes should be considered the absolute minimum if you are building your own wheels and are great for builds needing an especially short spoke.  For builds requiring spokes longer than 204mm I strongly suggest spending only slightly more on a butted spoke, such as the Sapim Race or Strong.  Butted spokes save weight, and greatly increase the fatigue life of a well built wheel.  Likewise unless Silver is your aesthetic of choice the process of blackening spokes adds a further chemical barrier (a quality spoke is never painted) between spoke and nipple materials and thus they are more resistant to corrosion within the thread.  You can find the full range of Sapim Spokes in both Silver & Black in my eBay Store HERE.


Should you require any spoke or nipple washers for your build then they can also be found on my store.
